Florence Lombard is the new CEO of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association, the international, not-for-profit analyst qualification that provides knowledge, ethics, and professionalism to individuals specializing in alternative investments.
In this Opalesque.TV interview, Florence describes how the CAIA Association follows global asset allocations trends to stay at the leading edge of alternative investments. The Association is reactive and nimble enough to then use these new trends to build each curriculum, putting them at the forefront of continuing education in the alternative investment community, a reach that extends into regulatory agencies.
She also gives some insight into the pace of the hedge fund growth in Asia. CAIA is currently focusing resources to keep up with the pace of this growth, to further expand its Asia presence and support CAIA members on a global scale.
